One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Three: The Heat's Strongest Combat Power Is Useless
13 to 3, the Grizzlies' offense surprised everyone.
Everyone originally thought this would be a tug-of-war, but judging from the current situation, the Grizzlies have no intention of letting the Heat drag the game to the end.
Spoelstra must now save the situation. Although this is only the first quarter of the game, as an old rival of the Grizzlies, Spoelstra knows very well that once the Grizzlies open the score, no matter how long the game is, In the end, they will be very passive.
It is easy for the Grizzlies to catch up with the lagging score, but it is very difficult for the Grizzlies to catch up with the Grizzlies as the lagging side.
If the Heat still want to win this game, they must close the point difference as soon as possible.
Right now, pure team offense won't work against the Grizzlies' defense.
Therefore, Spoelstra must return to the superstar-driven offense model of the Big Three era.
"Jimmy, next I need you to be more active on the offensive end. We must keep the score close before the end of the first quarter. Only in this way can we have the capital to arm-wrestle with the Grizzlies."
Spoelstra looked at Butler, who nodded silently.
He had already guessed that the situation would turn out like this.
Although Link is very strong, now, Butler can only fight hard.
In addition to being tough enough, Butler also has the characteristic that he is never afraid of strong opponents.
In the Grizzlies, he was still a young man and caused huge trouble to the powerful LeBron James in the Finals.
If he was afraid, then he wouldn't be able to restrain James at that time.
The word fear has never been in Butler's dictionary, even when facing Link.
The electronic buzzer sounded and the game started again.
The Grizzlies returned to the court with a 10-point advantage and established a double-digit lead in the first quarter, which is undoubtedly very beneficial.
Link was aiming for his tenth consecutive victory today, but he had no interest in experiencing the exciting decisive moment of victory.
Victory must be grasped early in order to be at ease.
When the Heat attack again,
The eyes of Kendrick Nunn and Jimmy Butler changed.
Nunn went from being high-spirited to being cautious. Butler, on the other hand, went from being as calm as water just now to having fire in his eyes.
Link also became cautious, although he continued to stimulate the Heat players verbally. But in his heart, Link knew very well that if he really took it lightly, he would pay the price.
Again, the Miami Heat are by no means a weak team.
To deal with Butler, you must attack with all your strength and without mercy.
This time, Nunn did hand the ball to Butler early.
Although he was a thorn in college, Nunn is still very honest in the NBA.
He will never show mercy when he should attack by himself, and he will obey the arrangements when he shouldn't attack by himself.
As soon as Butler got the ball, Adebayor and Leonard both put up the screen. Link would encounter obstacles no matter which side he went.
Butler feinted a shot toward Leonard, but ultimately chose to break through from Adebayor's side.
Adebayor is not an honest person either. He moved slightly laterally when blocking Link.
Maybe such a small move can only buy Butler a few tenths of a second, but in the NBA, it may be exactly these tenths of a second that determine whether a ball can be made.
Butler broke through and Jokic went to cover.
But Butler made a sudden stop and threw the cumbersome Jokic two or three steps away.
Grizzlies fans are numb to the fact that Teacher Yue is being trained by perimeter players every day.
Shaking Jokic away, Butler made a sudden jump shot.
Although Butler's three-pointer is not very good, his mid-range shot is still quite confident.
What's more, it's still under completely uninterrupted circumstances.
But is there really no interference?
Just when Butler took off and was about to take a shot, the basketball was held down by a huge force, and Butler couldn't shoot at all!
Although Jokic was "militarily trained" by Butler when he just made up the defense, it bought Link valuable time to pursue the defense.
Without Jokic's cover, Butler would have gone straight for a layup, and Link wouldn't have been able to catch up. But after being forced to make a pull-up jumper by Jokic, the situation was completely different.
So, even though Mr. Yue looks lazy and silly, he is still contributing to the team even when he is being thrown around...
The little time Adebayor fought for Butler was regained by Jokic.
Link used his arm strength and pressed it directly on the basketball.
Butler was so pushed by Link that he lost his center of gravity in the air and fell to the ground holding the basketball!
Link took advantage of Butler!
When someone else is shooting, just press them to the ground, and the visual impact is no less than a volleyball block.
They both humiliate each other, there is no difference between flying away and knocking them down.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle and awarded a scrimmage, which saved Butler's face.
Although the ownership of the ball has not yet been determined, at least Link's defense was successful this time.
Link looked at Butler on the ground and didn't talk trash. Because he knows that talking nonsense to Butler is useless.
Butler is not Nunn, and his heart is not so fragile that he can collapse after just a few words.
If you want to defeat Butler, you can only rely on hard power to fight against him. This is just the beginning, and Link will continue to be ruthless.
Butler climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, and the two stood on the free throw line, preparing to compete for the ball.
However, Butler's wingspan is at the same level as Griffin. "Silly Fen" is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.11 meters. Butler is 2.01 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.02 meters...
With his height and wingspan not as good as Link's, the result of this fight may not be too friendly to the Heat.
Speaking of wingspan, the Heat also have a "T-Rex" who is even more exaggerated than Butler. Kelly Olynyk is 2.13 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.08 meters, which is simply touching.
Sure enough, although Butler grabbed Link's jersey at the moment of taking off, Link still passed the basketball to his teammates.
The fight for the ball was successful and the Heat's offense was completely destroyed!
Spoelstra felt a chill running down his spine. Today, Link not only wanted to torture Nunn, but he also seemed not to leave a way for Butler to survive!
Although Butler was very embarrassed just now, this "bulldog" who never gives up is not discouraged.
He quickly regrouped and called everyone to retreat, preventing the Grizzlies from counterattacking.
Butler continued to struggle with Link. He interfered with Link's dribbling several times and almost snatched the basketball away.
Butler's defense is indeed top-notch in the league. Even Link doesn't dare to break through with the ball rashly now.
So, Link started holding the ball with his back, he wanted to hit Butler with his back!
Butler puffed up his chest and attacked hard, but Link was able to put Antetokounmpo in the paint.
Although he worked hard, Butler still retreated to the mid-range position under Link's fierce squeeze.
Seeing this, Link suddenly turned around and was about to shoot, so Butler quickly took a step forward, preparing to interfere.
Little did he know, Link used Butler as his axis and turned in the opposite direction!
This time, Butler was completely shaken away.
Link's fake moves were very realistic. Butler really thought Link was going to shoot just now.
In fact, Link did intend to vote. If Butler doesn't seal it, he shoots. If Butler blocks, he turns the other way.
Regardless, this is a dead end for Butler!
Therefore, superstars cannot be truly restricted. They can handle any defense.
In the end, Butler could only watch as Link easily completed the shot, widening the point difference again.
From the start of the game to now, Link's hit rate is still 100%.
Jimmy Butler is completely helpless against Link!
The score difference became 12 points, but the first quarter was only halfway through.
But what people are thinking now is not that the Heat still have time to equalize the score, but that the Grizzlies can completely widen the gap in the first quarter.
Butler clenched his fists. He couldn't guard a single ball today.
Others will degenerate to some extent after reaching 30, but Link is better. He is stronger than before.
Butler once again led the team to counterattack. This time, his breakthrough was blocked by Link, but he saw Nunn running out of the space.
So, Butler scored the ball, hoping that Nunn could use his firepower to break the Heat's scoring drought.
This is actually a very typical Heat offense. When Butler is the main attack, others can immediately transform into supporting roles.
Nunn ran out of position, but he lacked confidence at the moment of taking action.
In the end, this somewhat delayed shot failed to score.
Shooting is all about decisiveness. If you hesitate, you won't be able to make a shot.
Continuing the three-no-touch rule just now, Nunn missed again.
He was totally screwed today.
After the tactics were implemented, the ball failed to go in, which was very embarrassing.
In this situation, even if Spoelstra has extraordinary abilities, he can only admit defeat.
Link jumped up hard and grabbed the long rebound, preventing Butler from succeeding in his second attack.
The two landed at the same time, but due to a confrontation in the air, Butler fell again.
If this was a passionate basketball comic, there would probably be a scene where Link pulls Butler up and then yells "Let's continue" in the middle.
It's a pity that this is the cruel NBA. After Butler fell, Link didn't even look at it. He held the ball and started to counterattack.
This time, since Butler was unable to pursue and block Link, Link ran across the field like a wild horse running wild.
The 30-year-old Butler looked at Link's back and slowly stood up.
Why doesn't Link seem to age?
Kendrick Nunn actively moved forward. He wanted to cut the ball at the moment Link took off.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated Link's dominance.
"boom!"
Link ignored Nunn who was coming from the side, jumped up and dunked!
Nunn, who was less than 1.9 meters tall, was mounted by Link before he could make a move.
Link succeeded with a dunk from behind!
Nunn really sent someone a thousand miles away.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded to signal Nunn to block the foul.
After Link dunks, there will be an additional penalty!
Killing is heartbreaking.
Link looked up to the sky and roared, and what greeted him was the unanimous cheers of everyone in FedEx.
The sound hit Nunn, almost knocking him off his feet.
Jimmy Butler, the most powerful player in the eyes of the Heat's young players, was trampled to this point by Link...
Can that guy Link really be defeated?
Nunn had a question in his mind that most young players would have.
Of course, this also means that it will be difficult for the Heat to organize an effective counterattack in the next three and a half quarters.
How can a team without confidence and morale be effective?
The tenacious heat has been broken by Link from the inside.
